RE: [Digital BW] Re: silhouette photography on a digital camera

2006-08-01 by John Moody

Deliberately overexpose several shots by different amounts so that you can
see the banding and posterization that will happen at the silhouette
transition.  Look separately at each color channel, and also compare raw
conversion color spaces, sRGB vs. prophoto for example.   Once you get a
feel for it, you can judge how important exposure and bracketing might be to
achieving your image intent.

Best regards,
John Moody
